Chapter 798: Chapter 799: Bizarre ’Family’!
"What for?"
"You are the first woman I have led through this gate, and also the last."
His sudden remark left Huo Yishan somewhat taken aback.
Turning her head slightly, she saw that his face was impassive, his gaze fixed ahead, but his words were indeed meant for her.
What does he mean by that?
Seeing her son approaching, Young Madam Li hurriedly stood up to greet him, "Yuan!"
It had been several months since their last meeting, and the tears inevitably brimmed in Young Madam Li’s eyes, moistening them.
Upon seeing his mother, Li Yuan’s lips curled slightly, "Mother."
"It’s good that you are back."
He pressed his lips together lightly and straightaway pulled Huo Yishan toward Grandmother Li and Li Xiangyang, as well as all the senior members of the Li Family.
"Grandma, Father."
He only called out to those two; in his eyes, his elders consisted only of his grandmother and his parents.
Looking at her most admired grandson, Grandmother Li gave a slight smile, "Yuanyuan is back."
"Mhm."
Following that, Grandmother Li’s gaze turned toward Huo Yishan.
She was indeed tall and graceful, but she seemed a little too delicate, needing her grandson to carry her after just a short walk.
"This one, is she the girl you like?"
"Yes."
"Grandma sees that she does not compare to the Miss of the Ruan Family," Grandmother Li said, appearing amiable, yet her words were always straightforward.
Of course, it wasn’t that Huo Yishan really didn’t compare to the Miss of the Ruan Family, but rather that Grandmother Li had a predetermined preference, hoping that the girl from the Ruan Family would become her future granddaughter-in-law.
But faced with Grandmother Li, Li Yuan said something that nobody could refute.
"The Miss of the Ruan Family is certainly fine, but in my heart," he turned his head, his deep gaze falling on Huo Yishan’s fair face, "she is unmatched."
Both Grandmother Li and Li Xiangyang were taken aback.
Grandmother Li’s eyes sized up Huo Yishan from head to toe.
She had thought that facing such a grand assembly of the Li Family, she would be somewhat nervous and timid, but looking at her face now, she was calm and composed, not at all inferior.
"What does your family do?"
The question that followed was one that Li Yuan had already mentioned to Huo Yishan, so she wasn’t surprised at all.
Facing Grandmother Li, Huo Yishan replied unhurriedly, "My father is a businessman."
"What kind of business does he do?"
"Quite a few, Grandmother, are you sure you want to hear about them?"
"Just name one or two," said the girl, who seemed to have seen much of the world.
"Oh, there’s the film and television industry, and hotels, among others." Of course, she spoke offhandedly, since outsiders didn’t know her true identity, and naturally, she wouldn’t reveal it here.
After all, she was only playing the role of a fake girlfriend, and all she needed to do was to play this role well until Li Yuan’s 28th birthday.
Grandmother Li nodded, their Li Family was large, and she was also very concerned about these girls who wanted to get close to her grandson, each one after money, and the position of Young Madam Li.
"Since you come from a reputable family, you must have some talents, right?"
At this, Li’s second aunt spoke up, a derisive smile always playing at the corner of her mouth.
Hearing this, Huo Yishan turned her head and could tell that the woman sitting there seemed to look down on her.
But if she wanted to see her become a laughing stock, she had picked the wrong person.
After all, her role as ’girlfriend’ might be fake, but her status as a lady of a reputable family was anything but.
She turned her head to look at Li Yuan, "Dear, who is this?"
Li Yuan’s lips curved, adoration in his eyes, "Second Aunt."
"Oh, so this is Second Aunt, what kind of talent would you like to see, Second Aunt?"
